FOUNDATION ENROLMENT PROCESS FOR 2025
This year our school is using an online system for new enrolments to Victorian government schools called VicStudents.
VicStudents is available for students who are enrolling in a Victorian Government School for the first time. This includes Foundation (Prep) enrolments for 2025.
VicStudents has been assessed by the Department of Education to a high degree of security in line with the Victorian Protective Data Security Standards and is compliant with ISO 27001, the leading international standard for information security.
To commence online enrolment:
Visit https://students.educationapps.vic.gov.au/s/ to create an account and complete the online application form. Please ensure that all documents required are attached to the application.
A Quick Reference Guide to using the online system is available here. https://edugate.eduweb.vic.gov.au/Services/bussys/cases21/Templated%20Communication%20DE/QRG_Digital_Enrolment_Parent_Carer_Guide.pdf
It is important to note that the placement policy is followed by all government schools. You can view the Placement Policy here. Your chances of being offered a place in the schools you apply for are not advantaged or disadvantaged by using this system.
You can indicate your interest in enrolling in our school by contacting our school by phone 9803 1330 and speaking to our enrolment officer Mrs. Trish Richards or emailing glendal.ps@education.vic.gov.au
You may still enrol at our school if you reside within our enrolment zone, any time after the 15th April 2024. We accept enrolments throughout the year in Years 1 - 6, where we have vacancies.

Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.
Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and may enrol at another school, if there are available places.

- Foundation application for enrolment can be completed between the 24th April and the 28th of July. Your child must be 5 years old by the 30th of April, in the year that they are starting school.
As a first priority we must enrol students, who are in our school zone and siblings.
